  • Title: Optimisation of respiratory function.
    Author: Santamaria JD.
    Journal: Med J Aust; ; 155(11-12):838-42. PubMed ID: 1745186.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To apply pathophysiological principles in the management of patients with acute and chronic respiratory impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders is a key element in treatment of patients with impending or established respiratory failure. Therapies to improve and support abnormal gas exchange will minimise the complications of hypoxia and interventions to optimise ventilation and work of breathing may obviate the need for mechanical ventilation.
